peaceful morning, fireside evenings.

so it was the festival of colors this weekend.
everyone had a BLAST.
we're just assuming this though,
because we didn't go.
but we felt like we were practically there,
because everyone has either posted pictures,
or changed their profile picture.
and if that wasn't enough,
we experienced it all on a more wholesome level through this.

look, we know we "missed out,"
and we know "it was the best thing ever,"
but we just got tied up in some other business.
we'll go next year.
if we're in the country, that is.

anywho, we're counting down the days until this weekend.
two reasons:
1. veronica's & thatcher's birthday.
2. general conference.
3. the weekend.

meanwhile, ben taylor is off to tokyo today,
which is pretty stinkin' cool.

and we love the unpredictable utah weather.
for example:
when you dress in shorts and a tank top
for the beginning of your run,
and then come back soaked and permanently frozen because
it started snowing.
it adds a bit of spice, and a bit of interest. you know?
more fun. much, much more fun.

well, that's all for now.
consider this our third-to-last week of school.

"too bad we lack the will." ---taylor o.

we love that---taylor & taylor.

she hates boys.

now this is what we call a good time:




"why isn't the internet working?" ---taylor o.

we love that---taylor & taylor.

a musical redition of the book of matthew.

it's time.

here are some of the latest joys in our lives,
as cleverly portrayed by our very own photographs.

firstly,

we defaced bella.
apologies to all you "team bella" fans out there.
we just couldn't take it anymore,
and seeing as we felt something had to be done,
we done it.

secondly,




we have some new tenets here at the dollhouse.
baby bear (top), and mr. goose (bottom).
yes, we know the names are creative,
but we can't take credit for coming up with them, sorry.
anywho, we rented our new friends from the local museum,
FOR FREE!!
they make a nice addition to our home-sweet-home.

thirdly,




taylor b. and her brother switched shoes for the day.
ask them how well that turned out?
it didn't,
but it was worth a cent or two.

and lastly,



we brought our very own favorite treat home with us.
through some pretty sneaky tactics,
we were able to acquire the recipe,
and then follow it.
let's just say that pan didn't make it through the night.
taylor o. is a mean chef these days.
(but not literally "mean," just really good at cooking).


so, pretty stinkin' neat, huh?
anyway, the last couple days have been long, to say the least.
let us break it down for you:
between the three of us we've had:
10 tests,
6 essays,
and countless hours of studying.
and when we say countless,
we mean it in every sense of the word.
it's all good though.
once we get through today, we'll be flyin' high.
literally.
taylor b. will be enjoying her favorite game (baseball) in her favorite place (st. george),
veronica will be soakin' up some rays in sunny california,
and taylor o. will be sweet-home-on-the-range in here provo.
but hey, there is nothing wrong with that.

not to mention the countdown 'til finals has begun.

and happy march madness.

"what are we going to do about that?" ---taylor b.
"ha. ask her." ---taylor o.
"do you want to stay here tonight, or go home?" ---taylor b.
"i don't think i'm going to make it home." ---karissa urry.
"ha. k." ---taylor b.
"tay? i probably shouldn't tell you this,
but i sleep on peoples' couches all the time," ---k.u.

we love that---taylor & taylor.

a 15 minute window.

"no more partying."

we love that---taylor & taylor.

good morning, world.

this week:
you're enjoying a beautiful, sunny start to
an awesome, much-awaited spring break.

or, you're like us:
enduring the week from you know where.

so, we'd just like to remember happier times,
when we could do stuff like this.
and, this.
and ESPECIALLY, this.

but there isn't time for that type of behavior anymore.
oh well.
whateva.

"you're right. i need to calm down." ---taylor o.
"taylor?" ---taylor b.
"ahh sorry." ---taylor o.

we love that---taylor & taylor.

i like taxidermy.

yikes, it's been a while.
sorry about that.
we actually have A LOT to catch you up on,
buuuut, we can't for now.

the reason is, we'd like to do it with some pics,
and we've been failing at the whole,
upload-the-pictures-from-your-camera-to-your-computer thing.
oops. sorry.

but here are some things we're excited for:
1. purim feast.
(yes, yes, we've said it before. but it IS going to happen. eventually.)
2. festival of colors.
3. our fake spring break, because BYU is awesome,
and doesn't have one.
(by "fake" we mean, "not real."
aaaaand this subject is debatable,
because we're not really excited for it at all.)

finally,
taylor b.'s every dream has come true!
TRAIN IS COMING TO SALT LAKE!!!
yes, yes, yes.
best, news, ever.

well, we've either had way too much fun,
or not enough. so... no quote today.

ha. just kidding.

"we've either had way too much fun,
or not enough. so... no quote today." ---our blog.

we love that---taylor & taylor.

and 2007 was a bad year for everyone.

today is,

"what if cats and dogs had opposable thumbs?!"

day.

to celebrate this day,
we really considered the possibility of
cats and dogs having opposable thumbs.



cool.




"i wish we hadn't of looked at those.
i feel a little sick now." ---taylor b.

we love that---taylor & taylor.

oh, and a shout out to
ally morgan.
happs birth.
;)

today, my outfit is semi-coordinated.

happy march 1st.

we think everyone must agree that this is
a cause within itself to celebrate.

and another month means
you-know-what...


yet another disappointment.

oh well. at least taylor b. saw this today:

pretty snazzy, huh?
if you are one of those people looking at this picture and going,
"huh? what is that?"
then it doesn't really matter if you know or not.

welp, time for a take-home test and a french essay.
turns out that essay is due wednesday.
oopsie.
hate it when that happens.

oh! and taylor o. was accepted into the
media music program today!
pretty big deal.

"taylor, you should probably spit now." ---taylor b.

we love that---taylor & taylor.
